NASCAR star Danica Patrick's divorce has gotten the green light from an Arizona judge, who signed off on the racecar driver's split from (now ex-)hubby Paul Hospenthal last week.

Patrick put the pedal to the metal to complete her uncontested divorce. The couple's community property will be divided pursuant to a settlement agreement that's yet to be submitted to the court. But Patrick pre-emptively put the brakes on dishing out more money by signing a prenup.

Apparently the Honey Badger missed out on D.A.R.E. and just said yes, over and over. Former LSU cornerback and NFL prospect Tyrann Mathieu, known as the "Honey Badger," told an NFL team he failed so many drug tests in college that he quit counting at 10. (No, it's not because he was stoned.)

But based on one NFL's coach reaction, it seems Mathieu's honesty really was the best policy.

The FBI has gotten involved in the Rutgers basketball scandal involving coach Mike Rice. Surprisingly, the target of the FBI investigation is whistleblower Eric Murdock, and possible extortion charges, and not Rice himself.

The firing comes after ESPN aired video clips of Rice shoving, grabbing, and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs.

The video quickly went viral and led to outrage on social media, as well as from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and NBA stars like Lebron James. Rice was originally suspended for only three games for his actions. But faced with mounting criticism, the state college of New Jersey decided to terminate Rice.
